This 400-year-old, unlisted thatched cottage is a rare find, offering a unique blend of heritage charm and modern comfort. Nestled in a quiet setting, the property is hidden behind secure gates and approached via a private driveway, leading to a generous forecourt and substantial detached garage. Inside, the home combines exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, and leaded windows with thoughtful updates for everyday living. The four bedrooms, including a stunning vaulted double and a tranquil loft-style suite, offer flexibility and character. The kitchen/breakfast room is a highlight, with triple-aspect views and solid oak cabinetry. The property's secret garden feel, complete with flagstone terrace, lawn, and mature planting, provides a peaceful retreat, while still being just minutes from Reading town centre and local amenities.
